KATIE MALONE: TRUE PUBLIC SERVANT FOR THE PEOPLE OF MARYLAND'S 7TH
DISTRICT
______
HON. KWEISI MFUME
of maryland
in the house of representatives
Tuesday, August 31, 2021
Mr. MFUME. Madam Speaker, I stand today to honor a dedicated worker and public servant who has committed herself to the service of others. Mrs. Katie Malone, of whom I speak has gone the extra mile for the constituents of Maryland's 7th Congressional District for 15 consecutive years.
From handling military service academy application requests to working to obtain passports for people who were in emergency predicaments, Mrs. Malone has given effort above and beyond what could be expected of someone working in her capacity for a congressional office. This is borne out through the many testimonials and kudos I have received from parents and high school counselors who have repeatedly applauded her extra caring for young people competitively attempting to be appointed to one of our nation's military academies.
Likewise, her empathy, care, and concern for new arrivals in America is exemplified by her excellent service to immigrants coming to Maryland. Whether refugee, asylum seeker or Special Immigration Visa applicant each person, every family and local communities were connected to a person in Katie who wanted to transition people smoothly and seamlessly into our great and welcoming State of Maryland.
As demonstrated by her care and affection for her husband, William Malone, and children Abigail, Jane, Jack, and Erin, it is obvious that Bill and Katie are giving parents who know and teach that all people matter regardless of their background or station in life.
Working to improve the mail delivery and postal service options for everyone in the district regardless of zip code is another effort Katie has undertaken. Seniors and service personnel who rely on the timely delivery of mail have particularly benefited from her efforts. She handled special projects with special care and always did it with a smile on her face. If you were to look up the term ``constituent service'' in the dictionary, Katie Malone's picture would be there.
Since June of 2006 when the late Elijah Cummings hired her to work in his congressional office Katie has toiled in the trenches. She has addressed constituent complaints in an effective and efficient yet friendly manner. Service to the public has been her hallmark. I have received numerous compliments about her work and the effort she gives to get things done for the people of my district. So, it is with heartfelt gratitude that I rise to recognize Mrs. Katie Malone for her dedication, hard work and public service to the benefit of all in the 7th District, throughout Maryland and indeed for our Nation.
May she continue to be a beacon of light in a sometimes-dark world of public engagement. We were fortunate to have worked with someone as enthusiastic, competent, and optimistic as Katie. May her future endeavors continue to touch people with the positivity that she has shown in her public service for both Elijah and myself in Maryland's 7th Congressional District
